Export appliance (Migration to Open Build Service)

[sylviaK]

Hi,

I am trying to migrate my appliance from SUSE Studio Onsite to Open Build Service. According to this I should find a file “source.kiwi.txz” after exporting my appliance. In my case the folder only contains a “source” folder, “create_appliance” script and “README” file. Why is there no file “source.kiwi.txz”? Is there a difference if I use SUSE Studio Onsite?

Thanks in advance!

Hi
Sorry for the delay, but have heard back;

Yes. The SUSE Studio Onsite export is not prepared for this. In Onsite,
the export is in another format. Basically the source directory isn’t
tared/compressed. You can try to do this manually in your untared
‘export’ file with:

tar -cJpf source.kiwi.txz --owner=nobody -C source .

Then use that source.kiwi.txz to import.

Thank you for your reply!

I tried this before but obviously with the wrong options. Now I managed to import the compressed file to the public OBS but within my own OBS instance I had no luck.

However in the public OBS the build is broken. The error tells me: “repo url not using obs:/ scheme: {SLES 11 SP3 Updates x86_64}”. I guess, the source path in config.kiwi is wrong: <source path="{SLES 11 SP3 Updates x86_64}" />
I still have to figure out the correct path.

It seems the source path should be something like

<source path="obs://SUSE:SLE-11:SP3/standard" />
